In this episode we take a look at the fascinating history of using a jury of one’s peers as the basis for deciding the outcome of a trial. Because (as long as you're American at least), you probably take this system of trial for granted. But it’s actually a very unique system. And the way it came to us is WILD. Just as important, what’s the philosophy behind it? Is it effective? Should it be changed or gotten rid of? We’ll explore those questions and more in this episode.

Welcome to episode 2 of Remedial Polymath. In this episode we will explore the mystery and magic surrounding vision. Because in reality we take this sense for granted, and we don't understand much of how it actually works, neither regular people nor scientists. In reality we are imagining a lot of what we see. Doesn't make sense? Then take a listen to learn more.

What follows are some facts about America at the time of its inception that are downright wild, and thoughts about the knock-on effects of them, which are debatable in scope but undeniable. America in 1776 was estimated to only have 2.5 million people, yet had a geography that was larger than France and Great Britain combined. That's not a lot of people in a whole lot of land, in fact that makes its population density similar to Mongolia today, the least dense in the world. Who knew?!
In this episode we will examine the incredibly unique demographics of America at the time of it's "birth" and how these played into it's culture, the war of independence, but maybe most importantly how this would eventually influence the crafting of The Constitution of The United States of America.

This is the trailer for Remedial Polymath. Our motto is, ”The More You Learn, The Less You Know. The Less You Know, The Wiser You Are.” In case you weren’t aware, a polymath is someone who is well versed in many areas of study. Remedial of course means you’re not so great in a field of study. The resulting quasi-corny play-on-words of a title means that this podcast will be an informal approach to wide learning with the aim of making you rethink your world just a little bit.
At least that’s the idea for now. Things may change. Come join us for the journey.
